作者介紹 Born Julien Daniel Jacques Bicheux in 1985, Jim Bishop grew up inspired by the works of Hayao Miyazaki and Osamu Tezuka with the dream of someday making his own comics. The youngest of three siblings in a modest blended family, he kept and nourished that dream privately, taking normal jobs while drawing stories for his own self-exploration. Eventually, nearing the age of 30, he decided to pursue his dream for real, resulting in his first book, Nubo, the Cloud Guardian, published in 2015 under the pen name Jim Bishop. This surreal adventure tale filled with adolescent gravitas drew the attention of Ankama Editions, for whom he next wrote Jill and Sherlock with artist Yo One. That seemed to settle his professional concerns enough to focus on what would be his first widely celebrated opus, Lost Letters. Filled with a vibrant and engaging cast of characters occupying a dreamlike island community, like something out of a Miyazaki film, Lost Letters drew readers in with its inviting illustrations before hitting them over the head with some profound plot twists and an emotional, melancholic ending.
